May 27-29, 2016 | Zhenjiang, China  Register now!   News and Views Top Mechanisms for targeted, purposeful mutation revealed in an APOBEC-DNA complex   pp97 - 98 Emily K Schutsky, Zachary M Hostetler and Rahul M Kohli doi:10.1038/nsmb.3373 Targeted deamination of cytosine bases in DNA by AID/APOBEC-family enzymes is critical for proper immune function, but it also poses risks to genomic integrity. New structures reported by Harris, Aihara and colleagues offer the first glimpses into the enzyme-DNA complex and reveal both expected and unexpected insights into the DNA-binding mode involved in targeting purposeful mutation. See also: Article by Shi et al. Articles Histone degradation in response to DNA damage enhances chromatin dynamics and recombination rates   pp99 - 107 Michael H Hauer, Andrew Seeber, Vijender Singh, Raphael Thierry, Ragna Sack et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3347 A combination of SILAC-MS, genome-wide nucleosome mapping and live-cell imaging reveal rapid histone degradation and global chromatin decompaction after the induction of DNA double-strand breaks in S. cerevisiae. Crystal structures of human glycine receptor α3 bound to a novel class of analgesic potentiators   pp108 - 113 Xin Huang, Paul L Shaffer, Shawn Ayube, Howard Bregman, Hao Chen et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3329 The structure of GlyRα3 in complex with a selective potentiator that decreases neuropathic pain in an animal model identifies a novel allosteric regulatory mechanism. Structure of the polycystic kidney disease TRP channel Polycystin-2 (PC2)   pp114 - 122 Mariana Grieben, Ashley C W Pike, Chitra A Shintre, Elisa Venturi, Sam El-Ajouz et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3343 The cryo-EM structure of human polycystin-2 (PC2) in a closed conformation reveals a domain located above the pore filter, forming an upper vestibule and making contacts with the pore and voltage-sensor-like domains.

Structural basis for targeted DNA cytosine deamination and mutagenesis by APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B   pp131 - 139 Ke Shi, Michael A Carpenter, Surajit Banerjee, Nadine M Shaban, Kayo Kurahashi et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3344 Crystal structures of human APOBEC3A and a chimera of APOBEC3B and APOBEC3A bound to ssDNA reveal an unanticipated /`U-shaped/' binding mode and provide insight into target selectivity. See also: News and Views by Schutsky et al. Self-correcting mismatches during high-fidelity DNA replication   pp140 - 143 Rafael Fernandez-Leiro, Julian Conrad, Ji-Chun Yang, Stefan M V Freund, Sjors H W Scheres et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3348 Cryo-EM and NMR analyses of the E. coli replisome show how DNA-end fraying after mismatch incorporation at the polymerase active site enables substrate ends to reach the /`proofreading/' exonuclease site for mismatch removal. Structural insights into a unique Hsp70-Hsp40 interaction in the eukaryotic ribosome-associated complex   pp144 - 151 Felix Alexander Weyer, Andrea Gumiero, Genis Valentin Gesé, Karine Lapouge and Irmgard Sinning doi:10.1038/nsmb.3349 The yeast ribosome-associated complex (RAC) is formed by Hsp40 protein Zuo1 and the atypical Hsp70 chaperone Ssz1. Structural analyses show Ssz1 in a hybrid conformation between the open and closed state and its substrate-binding domain completed by Zuo1. Molecular architecture and dynamics of ASH1 mRNA recognition by its mRNA-transport complex   pp152 - 161 Franziska Theresia Edelmann, Andreas Schlundt, Roland Gerhard Heym, Andreas Jenner, Annika Niedner-Boblenz et al. doi:10.1038/nsmb.3351 Crystal structures of a localization element of ASH1 mRNA alone, in complex with its nuclear shuttling protein She2p, and in the cytoplasmic complex with She2p and She3p reveal a step-wise maturation pathway. Pif1-family helicases cooperatively suppress widespread replication-fork arrest at tRNA genes   pp162 - 170 Joseph S Osmundson, Jayashree Kumar, Rani Yeung and Duncan J Smith doi:10.1038/nsmb.3342 Genome-wide analyses of S. cerevisiae replisome mobility reveal overlapping roles of Pif1 and Rrm3 helicases in alleviating replication-fork arrest at tRNA genes.
